Washington @ Detroit Game Thread

[Simstim]

Oh dear. It really feels like a fatal momentum shift now

[Process]

I had a funny feeling about Detroit all year. Being ultra aggressive. Running up the score. Throwing TDs to O Lineman up 30 in the 4th quarter. 

 

They blew their load before real football (playoffs) even began.

Trick plays are fun until stupid happens 

Ben is reading his own press clippings and got to cute. 

 

Dorsey was guilty of this and that was part of his downfall. Coaching for his next job and not the current one

Holy moly that's so frustrating for the Lions fans. I feel for them. 

Nah.  
 

Franchise has been putrid forever and all of a sudden they get the 1 seed and a chance to go to the NFCCG and SB the first time their fans get any hope?

 

There’s a LOT more suffering that needs to occur first.

I stand corrected. They must have changed that rule. Not surprising as they have protected QBs over the years. 

It is relatively new but I want to point out on that play #95 is fine blocking Goff, it is only the shot he takes that is illegal. I will also state I like this rule, cheap shorting a QB is bad for football, I am against the stupidity in KC today, which is also bad for football.

There’s a part of me that enjoy when Dan Campbell blows it.

I know one of Dan’s family members and they said he has always been a riverboat gambler. Understatement of the year

[Real McClappy]

TY Goff you tool

 

Only team I could root for other than Buffalo was Detroit. Goff single handed F that.

I’m not letting Ben Johnson get anywhere near my team as head coach after watching him play Techmo Super Bowl in a divisional playoff. 

 

It's ok to do that if you don't let your opponent be the Raiders with Bo Jackson.

It’s getting dangerous for the Lions now.

 

Staring a huge loss in the face, and they’re going to lose both their coordinators.

 

This would be a crippling loss. 

If you are watching this game why would you hire either coordinator? Glenn is getting his lunch money taken.

The commanders are gonna be in the NFC championship. I mean, who didn't predict that back in September 😅

If you said the Lions are #1 seed in September everyone can acknowledge it. If you said the Commanders make it to the playoffs as a #6 people may shrug and say ok. If you said the Lions get upset by the Commanders in the playoffs being just owned them no one believes it.

 

Throw in Vikings are 3 loss team and Bills win the East you'd have people wanting to commit you.

Wow poor Detroit fans deserve better.  

Number one seed, no Super Bowl

appearance in the history of the franchise, and they almost got there last season. This definitely felt like the year with home field. I feel really bad for them too. You’d definitely feel like a cursed franchise by this point.

That's why I hate trick plays.  You've got a good offense.  You're moving the football.  Stick with your bread and butter plays.

This is the Goff that McVay dumped...

He had such a solid year though other than the 5 int game and today. 

[BRH]

This guy is so much better and smarter than CJ Stroud it’s not funny.

Guessing that’s Dan Snyder’s doing or the fact they went prim and proper and deemed the old franchise name derogatory and racist?

No, this is the new regime they don't care much for but haven't been closely affiliated with the team regardless. One was a household name.

[MikePJ76]

I feel for the lions fans tonight.

 

It's going to be one of those nights where you can't sleep and then the games tomorrow are impossible to watch because of the constant reminders.

 

Its just such a horrible feeling.  Its what we sign up for as fans but man this one is going to hurt for a long time in detroit.

[Solomon Grundy]

Daniels simply outplayed Goff. No mistakes for Daniels

Don’t delete it….i feel like a Goff pick is coming 

[notpolian]

LOL delay of game.  If this was a Bills game I'd probably have popped an artery or 2 by now.
